Ecstasy154: Adams Oshiomhole, you are foolishly wrong on this plank. Instead, history will punish any fool who joined hands with Gowon and Nigeria to prosecute war against Biafra which led to the ceding of bakassi to Cameroon during the reign of Ahmadu Ahidjo. |

GenSpecifics: You know nothing about Yoruba History..... Only what you want to believe to give you the opportunity to troll and shade Yoruba........ First Ilorin was not lost in battle with Fulani it was a Yoruba man that betrayed Yoruba and attacked Oyo Empire with the Fulani Guests that was accomodated in his Town, and they were stopped when they got near Ogbomosho. After Afonja's dealth "Abdulsalami" the leader of the Fulani that was bossom friend with "Afonja" and whom Afonja accepted his people as guests in Ilorin and also helped Afonja in his fight against Oyo Empire Murdered Afonja's son that was supposed to be king of Ilorin and Made Himself King. That was how Yoruba Lost Ilorin to Fulani and it was not lost in any war or battle but thank God today, Ilorin is being rule by a Yoruba man and the Emir title is from Muslim and they are all Muslim Majority so there is no problem with that. Yoruba is ruling Ilorin now because their King is a Yoruba Man, and all our Land that was invaded by Fulani we took them back and sent them packing all the way back to the North, Even Fulani themselves admitted that Yoruba Defeated them and Kicked them out. The only place in Yoruba Land that fulani really actually invaded was Osogbo and the Yoruba kicked them out and sent them back to the North, If you know Osogbo you will understand how they ran back to the North |

GenSpecifics: What does the word mean itself? A few Yoruba heritage articles and Facebook group believe in the theory that the Yoruba word was formed from a derogatory term used by Hausa-Fulani traders to name people from the South-West. Yoruba people were seen as tricksters and shrewd negotiators in business. Northerners allegedly started calling them Yaribansa which supposedly means bastard. Over the years the corruption of the word Yaribansa would develop to Yoruba. |

Olawalesmarter: Stop trying to re-write history. The earliest recorded mention of Yoruba was by a Sahelian Songhai Islamic scholar where he depicted the succesful jihad by Fulanis on Oyo Ile. |

GenSpecifics: Why do you people always discard the fact that A Yoruba man and War Lord "Afonja" from ilorin attacked Oyo Empire with his Army and the Fulani were able to joined because they were Guests in his Town? it just showed that you only want to troll and shade Yoruba... |
Re: History Will Punish Obasanjo For Ceding Bakassi To Cameroon—oshiomhole by Olawalesmarter(m): 1:28pm On Jan 31, 2019 |
GenSpecifics: No Fulani carried out Jihad on Oyo ile. It was a Yoruba War Lord "Afonja" that attacked Oyo Empire with his Army and the Fulani that were guests in His Town, Back then Ilorin was a War Camp for "Afonja" a War Lord of Oyo Empire before he got jealous and attacked Oyo Empire, but no you guys will ignore that so that you can troll Yoruba. Ilorin is now under Yoruba man As King, and no Fulani will ever be king in the town again so continue making noise, the only thing about Ilorin is that the Fulani guests in the town are still there till today and they are all Muslim in the City |

GenSpecifics: In the mid-1700s, around 1750 and onwards, a powerful Oyo warrior was growing in stature; a man called Afonja. His father was Laderin. Laderin himself was the son of Alugbin, who himself was the son of Pasin. Alaafin Majeogbe ruled Oyo from 1754 to 1770, and was succeeded by Alaafin Abiodun same year. Abiodun was on the throne for about 19 years, until 1789 when he was murdered by his own son, Aole. Aole became Alaafin, and ruled from 1789 to 1796. It was during these years that Afonja was Kakanfo, and was domiciled in Ilorin, a small town that nestled on the banks of a tributary of the River Niger, the River Awun. Afonja was the sixth Kakanfo, coming after Oku of Jabata, and was succeeded by Toyeje of Ogbomoso. His tenure as Kakanfo signposted the loss of the Ilorin area to the Sokoto Caliphate, after a dispute between him and Alaafin Aole degenerated into insurgency. This development has remained of great impact on the history of the Yoruba peoples north of Oyo till date. Crisis with Aole The crisis that spawned Afonja’s insurrection essentially centred around conventions, and oaths that he did not want broken. The Kakanfo generated issues with the Alaafin Aole when he was commanded to attack Iwere-Ile, the home town of late Alaafin Abiodun’s mother. It is not known why Aole, described as a pompous, haughty and high-handed individual would order the home town of his paternal grandmother sacked. In any case, there existed a curse to the effect that any Kakanfo who attacked Iwere-Ile would die a horrible death, ostensibly placed by Alaafin Abiodun whose mum hailed from there. In addition, Kakanfo Afonja was also under oath from Abiodun. As a result of these, and other considerations, Afonja declined to carry out the orders of his commander-in-chief. But Alaafin Aole, also called Arogangan (the high-handed one) had another assignment for Afonja. In 1795 he ordered the Kakanfo to attack Apomu, a market town that is part of Ile-Ife. In 1795, Aole ordered the sacking of Apomu, a town that forms part of the territories of Ile-Ife, the acclaimed source of the Yoruba peoples. This order Afonja complied with; but on his return he himself had a brain wave, or perhaps was executing another planned agenda. He marched on Oyo, stormed the palace, and demanded that Aole should abdicate. In all of these, it would seem that the metropolitan forces under the command of the Bashorun were complicit; Afonja encountered no obstacles in dealing with Aole. The Alaafin committed ritual suicide after that. Back to Ilorin Afonja returned to Ilorin, his headquarters, leaving Oyo rudderless.Aole was succeeded by Adebo who ruled barely a year from 1796 to 1797; and was succeeded by Makua, who ruled a few months and also died in 1797. From 1797 to 1802 the Oyo throne was vacant. Alaafin Majotu was crowned in 1802 and he then reigned till 1830. Ultimately, Afonja’s undoing came about when he decided to implement a human resources overhaul of his troops and commanders. By this time he had made friends with Salih Jinta, also known as Shehu Alimi, a Fulani cleric who had settled in Ilorin and who had brought with him many slaves and other clerics. Afonja had developed the notion that Hausa slaves and Fulani mercenaries would make better soldiers and commanders than his own people who previously formed the bulk of his forces. He then ordered his adjutant, an officer called Ologolo to disband his troops and induct Hausa slaves and slaves of other nationalities into his fighting force. When Shehu Alimi died, his son Abd Salaam, whom Afonja did not know was an ambitious man saw his opportunity and struck. Using the advantage of language which Afonja and his core Yoruba commanders did not have, his forces were infiltrated and a revolt instigated against him. He was finally killed in 1817, after which Abd Salaam declared himself emir and pledged allegiance to Sokoto Caliphate in 1824. |

GenSpecifics: The leadership of Ibadan over Yoruba did not come by accident; rather, it came as Ibadan checkmated the rampaging Fulani warriors after the fall of Oyo. Yoruba had lost Igbomina, Ekiti and Akoko were under threat; Ogbomọṣọ, Ẹdẹ, Iwo, axis were under attack-even Oṣogbo had been defeated and taken by Fulani. Ibadan would not allow the onslaught to continue, by 1840, Ibadan soldiers defeated and pushed Fulani warriors back to Ilọrin. However, the only regret was that, Ibadan did not follow through to Ilọrin. This military success stopped further Fulani attack on Yoruba land throughout 19th and early 20th centuries- the period that covered British annexation of Lagos in 1860, creation of Southern Protectorate to promote and to preserve the commercial interest of Royal Niger Company; the creation of Northern Protectorate and the amalgamation of January 1, 1914, leading to the formation of Nigeria. Ibadan was not done with wars yet, because it engaged in many more wars in Yoruba land in order to establish its supremacy. One of such war was Ibadan/Ijaye war of 1860-61. We should remember that Atiba, Oluyọle and Kurunmi were trio who fought the Eleduwẹ war during Alaafin Oluewu, to liberate Yoruba from the Fulani in Ilọrin. At the war front- these three warriors became covenanted friends; at the end of the war- their friendship became even stronger- especially, when Atiba succeeded Eluewu as the new Alaafin. |

Ecstasy154: THE CEDING OF THE BAKASSI PENINSULA IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MISTAKES OF EX-PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO. Obasanjo is even ashamed to talk about it because he committed one of the worst blunder a leader could ever do. Now the indigene of Bakassi are strangers in their own ancestral land courtesy of the world court ruling. If Obasanjo did not agree to go to court nobody would have forced him. |
